[Piano duet] “Berceuse” from the Suite Dolly, Op. 56 No. 1 / Fauré / Piano Duo Lumière / Dolly “Berceuse” / G. Fauré / 4-hands piano

Many of you probably remember the delightful commercial featuring Ichiro, where he’s peppered with questions by aliens curious about topics like Earth’s energy resources and ecology.

The piano piece used in that ad is “Berceuse,” the first movement from Dolly, composed by the French composer Gabriel Fauré, known for works such as his Requiem.

Dolly is a suite of six pieces for piano four hands, written to celebrate the birth of a friend’s daughter.

There are also versions where instruments like the flute or cello carry the main melody.

No matter which instrument plays it, you can savor its refined and beautiful melody.

Nocturne No. 6 in D-flat major, Op. 63Gabriel Urbain Fauré14rank/position

Fauré / Nocturne No. 6, Op. 63 / Performed by Yusuke Kikuchi

The one who studied under Saint-Saëns and continued composing while serving as a church organist was Fauré.

Perhaps because he performed church music, he also wrote works using the old church modes that belong neither to major nor minor keys, paving the way for the next era; yet in his Nocturnes and Barcarolles he produced truly beautiful late-Romantic music.
